| Details: I took a gamble on this Mercedes Sprinter van being an Abellio service vehicle rather than a visiting contractor's vehicle, but confirmation or further sightings would be welcomed. Supporting the supposition, Abellio does often operate vehicles with minimal or no lettering, and the previous Fulwell engineer's van (LDV BK03ZFH) was withdrawn last year. YK08VVZ was photographed at Fulwell Garage on 27th April 2015, with the crew ferry parking area on the left. As you may have noticed, Abellio refer to this facility as Twickenham Depot, but it is part of the former London Transport Fulwell trolleybus depot, while the Twickenham name has also been used for other garages operated by LT and NCP/London United. Also, if I was to be totally accurate, I would have to spell Abellio with a lower-case A! Note the numbers above the doorways (one of which has been bricked up). These presumably date back to trolleybus days. | ||

| Ray | The tram tracks are slowly being uncovered again (probably by the ferry vehicles continually going in and out). | Sat 02/05/15, 13:02 |
| Thomas Young | Thanks Ray. I'm not old enough to remember Trolleybuses either! However, I know that there were tram tracks in the rear yard of Fulwell until it was redeveloped for TGM in 2000. I presumed that the 'track' numbers would also be relevant to trolley wiring. | Fri 01/05/15, 21:32 |
